Lots SD cards and USB cards ( even branded ones ) are fake and do not hold anywhere near the stated capacity. You may want to try to run f3write / f3read ( from http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/ ) on it to see what the actual capacity is. With a fake card everytig works well until the real capacity is filled at which point it just keeps overwriting itself until completely scrambled. The kernel will usually react to this by remounting it read only. peter -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
